In earlier times, jewellery often had a certain meaning and conveyed a message. Gemstones were read as symbols and could convey messages to the recipient. In this pendant, we find gemstones that were selected according to their meaning. Turquoise, imported at great expense from Persia, was a real fashionable stone of the 19th century. People of the time loved it because of its similarity in colour to the forget-me-not. This flower has always been a symbol of tender remembrance and a brief farewell in sincere love. In addition to turquoise, the color of such meaningful flowers, the pearl is also a symbol of love and stands for the support of Venus, the goddess of love. For Venus herself, like the pearl - as we know from Botticelli's famous painting - was born from a shell. The piece of jewellery that we discovered in London is an airy, openwork laurel wreath made of filigree gold rods. Its design language corresponds to the so-called Garland style, which was particularly popular in Great Britain in the early years of the 20th century. It can be worn around the neck with a delicate anchor chain. A perfect gift for a loved one.
